Fall Festival Arcade Style

Carl outdid himself once again.  Since the Young Men were in charge of doing a booth or a game at the Fall Festival this year, Carl took on the project with exceptional enthusiasm.  Programming an arcade-like game, he was the hit of the night.  The idea is that you shine the flashlight into the pirate's eye and then the lights in the black box on the table would go off along with a video-game toned version of the Final Countdown indicating that you won.  To make it harder for the older kids, the pirate's head would move around making it difficult to flash him in the eye and win a prize.

When the games were done, the next day Carl asked for permission to use the pirate face I'd made for his game as target practice for the boys.  They pulled out his paintball gear and laid waste to the pirate. Ok, there wasn't any damage, he just fell over...because of the wind.  But the kids had a great time shooting paintballs at him. :)

Great arcade game! Bet everyone loved it. :)

Did the kids hit the target? Connor looks like a natural with the sling shot. :)
